Samsung's next 10.1-inch tablet set to go octa-core with super hi-res display

Benchmarking tests reveal hi-spec monster

Samsung's next 10.1-inch tablet could be its most impressive yet, if the latest benchmarking reports prove to be accurate.

The tablet, which is said to go by the model name SM-T520, was reportedly shown to have a super hi-res 2560 x 1600 display and the company's octa-core Exynos 5420 processor under the hood.

That big.LITTLE architecture deploys four high-power cores and four more to take care of less important tasks. While it's not true octa-core in terms of having all eight chips firing on all cylinders, the system on a chip does dramatically improve efficiency.
